Dream Center: Helping Students from Access to Graduation

Entering college can be confusing. Salt Lake Community College hopes the Dream Center in West Valley City and the Center’s website helps students who may not have proper documentation, have pending immigration status, identify themselves as DREAMers or have recently been granted Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) status.

Helping students is our highest priority at SLCC. We hope this information shows you how to access educational resources, find support and allies on campus, and navigate SLCC procedures so you can be successful in your educational pursuits.

The Dream Center at Salt Lake Community College works holistically with undocumented students and mixed-status families from college access to graduation and or transfer.

The Dream Center

  • Engages in specialized college outreach and access strategies.
  • Provides individualized advising and scholarship support for current and future undocumented students at SLCC.
  • Promotes campus-wide advocacy and trainings SLCC students, faculty, staff and administration.
  • Increases community-wide awareness of policies affecting current and SLCC undocumented students.

“I first sought The Dream Center looking for resources to pay for college. Working with Brenda Santoyo at The Dream Center, I have found a connection to others like me; I was reminded that I am not alone, something that can be easy to forget. Through the Dream Center I have found a place in which I feel a sense of belonging and family. Additionally, I have received help from the Dream Center’s resources, with the help of the center’s Writing and Rhetoric Fellow, Cristina Guerrero, I was awarded a full scholarship for Spring 2020."

SLCC Business School is Utah’s First to be Named Exclusively After a Woman

Salt Lake Community College (SLCC) proudly announces a partnership with the Larry H. & Gail Miller Family Foundation to modernize its Business Building and transform its School of Business. The improvements are made possible through a generous $10 million gift from the Miller Family Foundation and Gail Miller, the largest-ever single cash donation received by the college.  SLCC is renaming its Business Building the Larry H. & Gail Miller Family Business Building in honor of the Miller family’s legacy and contributions to the community. The business school will be named the Gail Miller School of Business in recognition of the strong business acumen Gail Miller displays as a community leader and as the owner and immediate past chair of the Larry H. Miller Company. This name change will make SLCC home to the only business school in Utah and one of only a few in the country to be named exclusively after a woman.  “We are deeply humbled by the generosity of Gail and the Miller fam
